The Furby BOOM's eyes are LCD screens, allowing it to emote more realistically. The BOOM is also considered a "robot pet" which kids can virtually control using a phone or tablet. Like the regular Furby, the Furby BOOM is still very interactive and well...needy. Your kids will still be required to talk to them, feed them, tickle them and make them dance. The care is the same, except for things like bathing your Furby, which can now be done digitally and not in a actual shower, which cost our parents, another Furby.
